i was talking with 2 of my buddies a few days ago. both were army designated squad marksmen and both were arguing over mil dot ranging. one was a first focal plane user and the other was a second focal lane user, obviously both sides have good points and bad points. now my question, is there a scope with the mils on the first focal plane and the crosshair on the second focal plane? a setup kinda like a shepherd scope. if there were something like this i think all arguement over focal lanes and mill ranging would be finish and not only that i think i might finally get a mil type reticle scope.

Never heard of such a creature. Not sure that set-up would even be possible.

if the shepherd works with reticles on both planes, i see no reason why the reticle system i described wouldnt work

I don't understand the hoopla over the FFP mil-dot reticles, on mine a 4x16 XOTIC, the dots are so small on the lower powers that there is no way you could accurately use them for ranging till you get to at least 10X, I can't think of any reason not to just have the reticle in the SFP and calibrated to max power. if you need a very low power just hold dead on or use holdover, I've been very successful using holdover to just beyond 500 yards.
